Show Luo (simplified Chinese: 罗志祥; traditional Chinese: 羅志祥; pinyin: Luó Zhìxiáng; born July 30, 1979), sometimes credited as Show Lo, is a Taiwanese singer, actor and host. He was commonly known by his Chinese nickname Xiao Zhu (Little Pig) due to being overweight during his middle school years. He was also commonly known as “Asia’s Dance King” by the Taiwanese media for his dance skills. He is well known for hosting the Taiwanese variety show 100% Entertainment.
Show was born into a musical family. His father was a host and his mother was a Taiwanese Aborigine singer. Their job was holding entertainment shows for different events such as the wedding. Show started playing drums when he was three and performed onstage during his childhood. He won a silver award at a singing contest when he was only 7.
In 2006, he created his own fashion brand called STAGE. Now this fashion store has branches in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore and succeeded in the fashion trend in Asia during the recent years.
Show Luo became the spokesperson for Love Blind Charity in 2008. Next year, he was asked to become the leader of “Love Blind promise Career Starter Class”. The Love Blind Charity hope Show Luo can gathering everyone’s power to help people with vision disability find a job. Show Luo encouraged people to put the coins into the donation box instead of their wallets. This money might give people with vision disability more opportunities. Show also designed some items for charity sales.
Show Luo was the second highest-paid Taiwanese celebrity of 2012. In order to celebrate the ranking, he decided to treat his mother, the employees of his management company Universes Entertainment, and his best friends the Party Boys, to a trip to the Maldives after Lunar New Year. The entire trip cost about 6.3 million TWD with a total of 35 people, which will be paid by Show. Treating his coworkers to vacations in the past years has become one of his habits. Show treated his coworkers to a vacation in Hawaii.
In 1996, Show entered the entertainment industry by contesting in a musical competition where he impersonated Aaron Kwok. Along with 3 other contestants, they debuted as a quartet boy band in Taiwan. The boy band quickly disbanded as two members left for compulsory military service, which Show was exempted from because he has Gluteal Fibrotic Contracture (commonly known as frog extremity). Despite his athletic abilities and endurance, he also suffers from Mitral valve prolapse syndrome, so he cannot consume any foods containing caffeine. That same year, he formed the group ROMEO with Ou Di. They released two albums, but the group soon disbanded as Ou Di left for the military.
